Tyson Jamal Jackson, 18, of Amarillo is charged with interfering with an emergency phone call, evading arrest or detention and escape from custody. His bond was set at $1,500 each on the first two charges. Bond had not been set on the escape charge, a jail spokesman said.

Jackson had been arraigned in court on two misdemeanor charges about 10 a.m. Thursday and then was served by investigators with the Potter County Attorney's Office with two misdemeanor bond surrender warrants, said Capt. Greg Daniel, public information officer for Potter County Sheriff's Office.

Jackson was escorted to the first-floor security room to be booked on the two outstanding warrants and was waiting in handcuffs for the deputy to complete booking paperwork when he bolted, Daniel said.

Jackson scuffled with a Potter County deputy in the first-floor lobby area, managed to slip one wrist from the cuffs and run out the front door, Daniel said.

An off-duty corrections officer from the Neal Unit joined the deputy in foot pursuit and captured Jackson minutes later after he got into his girlfriend's vehicle at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and Tyler Street, Daniel said.
